  • A. Hydrogen free radical
  • B. Chlorine free radical
  • C. Hydrogen chloride molecule
  • D. Both hydrogen and chlorine free radicals

Explanation: To break the covalent bond between two chlorine atoms, photons of ultraviolet rays are required.

Correct answer: Chlorine free radical
  • A. Cl2
  • B. F2
  • C. I2
  • D. Br2

Explanation: 'Fluorine' (F2) is the most reactive halogen as it has a small size and high charge density.

Correct answer: F2
  • A. CHCl3
  • B. CCl4
  • C. CH2Cl2, CH3Cl
  • D. All of these

Explanation: It shows a free radical substitution reaction in which UV light (sunlight) is used to substitute the Hs of the CH4.

Correct answer: All of these
  • A. Heat
  • B. Sunlight
  • C. Catalyst
  • D. Oxygen

Explanation: 'Ultraviolet light' is simply a source of energy and is being used to break bonds.

Correct answer: Sunlight
  • A. Nitric acid
  • B. Oxygen
  • C. Halogen
  • D. All of these

Explanation: Reason: Alkanes undergo very few reactions. One of these is the reaction with halogens to form halogenoalkanes.

Correct answer: Halogen
  • A. Cl2
  • B. F2
  • C. I2
  • D. Br2

Explanation: Fluorine (F) is the most reactive halogen and therefore reacts faster with alkanes in substitution reactions.

Correct answer: F2
  • A. Heat
  • B. Sun light
  • C. Catalyst
  • D. Oxygen

Explanation: Option B is correct since sunlight is simply a source of energy, and is being used to break bonds.

Correct answer: Sun light
  • A. Nitric acid
  • B. Oxygen
  • C. Halogen
  • D. All of these options are correct

Explanation: When halogens react with alkanes, the reaction is a free radical reaction.

Correct answer: Halogen
  • A. Carbonyl dichloride
  • B. Phosphoryl chloride
  • C. Carbon tetrachloride
  • D. C2O & PH3

Explanation: a) Carbonyl dichloride:Phosgene is commonly known as carbonyl dichloride. Its chemical formula is COCl2.

Correct answer: Carbonyl dichloride
  • A. Alcohols
  • B. Ketones
  • C. Carboxylic Acid
  • D. Ethers

Explanation: The general formula CnH2nO2 is for carboxylic acids and esters.

Correct answer: Carboxylic Acid
  • A. RCOR
  • B. RCOOR
  • C. RCHO
  • D. RCOOH

Explanation: The general formula for aldehydes is RCHO, where R represents an organic group.

Correct answer: RCHO
  • A. Functional groups
  • B. Homologous series
  • C. Alkane
  • D. Atoms

Explanation: Functional groups are groups of atoms in a compound, that determine the chemical behavior of the compound and gives specific properties to…

Correct answer: Functional groups
  • A. NH4CNO
  • B. NH2COCH3
  • C. NH2CONH2
  • D. NH2COONH

Explanation: OPTION A: NH4CNO is not an amide because it contains a nitrogen atom bound to hydrogen, not to a carbonyl group (C=O).OPTION B: Amides are…

Correct answer: NH2COCH3
  • A. Aldehyde
  • B. Alcohol
  • C. Esters
  • D. Ketones

Explanation: d) Ketones This option is correct. While Camphor contains a ketone functional group, Menthone contains a ketone group, not a ketone.

Correct answer: Ketones
  • A. Functional groups
  • B. Homologous series
  • C. Alkane
  • D. Atoms

Explanation: A functional group is an atom or a group of "atoms" that give specific physical and chemical properties to the organic compounds…

Correct answer: Functional groups
  • A. Better yield
  • B. Lower yield
  • C. Lower rate
  • D. Cost decrease

Explanation: Explanation for this question will be added soon.

Correct answer: Better yield
  • A. Endothermic reaction
  • B. Exothermic reaction
  • C. Irreversible reaction
  • D. Slow reaction

Explanation: Bond-making itself is an exothermic process because to make the bonds, heat energy is given off when compounds come closer, which makes…

Correct answer: Exothermic reaction
  • A. Endothermic reaction
  • B. Exothermic reaction
  • C. Irreversible
  • D. Slow

Explanation: In the Haber process, "the atmospheric nitrogen (N2) is converted to ammonia (NH3) by reacting it with hydrogen (H2)".

Correct answer: Exothermic reaction
  • A. Solid state
  • B. Liquid state
  • C. Gaseous state
  • D. None of these options are correct

Explanation: The Haber Process combines nitrogen from the air with hydrogen to form ammonia.

Correct answer: Liquid state
  • A. 30%
  • B. 32%
  • C. 35%
  • D. 33%

Explanation: Remember that in Haber's process, the volume percentage of ammonia in the equilibrium mixture is 35%.

Correct answer: 35%
